MicroPAVER™ -- The Pavement Maintenance Management System -- originally was developed in the late 1970s to help the Department of Defense (DOD) manage M&R for its vast inventory of pavements. It uses inspection data and a pavement condition index (PCI™) rating from zero (failed) to 100 (excellent) for consistently describing a pavement's condition and for predicting its M&R needs many years into the future. The PCI™ for airports became an ASTMstandard in 1993 (D5340-98). The PCI™ for roads and parking lots became an ASTMstandard in 1999 (D6433-99). The ASTM standard can be ordered from the ASTM website. The MicroPAVER™ program performs multiple levels of analysis to show where to best allocate scarce M&R dollars. For more information, see the MicroPaver Website.
